I want to take my sweetheart on a picnic and when I think of a picnic I think gourmet chicken salad you know the kind with the grapes, apples and walnuts on a fococia roll with bib lettuce and as you all probably know I love ranch dressing and i was wondering if it would be a good dressing on my chicken salad

sounds great to me!! When’s dinner? I’ll try it myself sometime
Doesn’t sound good to me, Too many flavors going on.
Ranch would work. Or you can use about 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 Tablespoon of fresh Lemon Juice, 1 Tablespoon of Fresh Thyme and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
You can make some buttermilk dressing, which is like ranch, but better, because it is homeade and yummy! It is made with a half cup mayo, and half cup buttermilk or yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon each seasoned salt and parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon each garlic and onion powder. If you want, you could add other spices to the buttermilk dressing, or just to your ranch dressing to make a very unique flavor.
Ranch would be a very complimentary addition. I would use Light.
Sounds great. I often use some kind of creamy salad dressing in sandwich fillings. It is a nice change from mayo or miracle whip. Or along with them depending on what you want to do.
